Planning a trip soon? Here are some of this week’s best offers.

Experience Singapore, Thailand, the Mediterranean, Australia, and New Zealand while getting the most out of your budget.

Stay at a unique resort in Singapore

Five nights’ accommodation at Village Hotel Albert Court and return Singapore Airlines fares from New Zealand start at $2705 each, twin-share, and come with daily breakfasts. You’ll also get a ticket to River Wonders and additional tickets to the attraction at half price.

Book by April 26, and travel on selected dates from June 25 through to November 30.
